AG joins a slew of other denim brands doing their part to support relief efforts. Last week, Levi’s donated $3 million in relief efforts for its employees and community, as well as 10,000 medical-grade masks for hospitals around the world.

Other denim brands continue to provide relief where they can, while also experiencing hardship themselves. Despite losing all of its wholesale orders for the year, Raleigh Denim Workshop is producing masks and selling them on its website. For each mask sold, the brand will donate two masks to people in need.

Similarly, after temporarily shutting down its factory and showroom to the public, Shockoe Atelier shifted its production to N95 face masks.
